The scene of the crime is in the fire room on the side of the garage, in order to prevent the news from being exposed, Wang Zhihong has blocked the scene, placed the ice cream bucket on the construction card, and also sent a security guard to guard the side.

The room is not large and only a few square meters, and it is usually used to stack all kinds of fire-fighting equipment, such as fire hoses, fire hydrants, fire axes and fire buckets, which are basically closed and will only be opened during weekly inspections.

In the morning, when the security guard inspected the garage, he found the door of the fire room open, and felt strange, so he found Lu Peng's body.

Lu Peng leaned in the corner of the inner side of the door, his face was pale, his hands were naturally drooping, his eyes were wide, and there were large areas of bruises on his face and body, especially the two long strips of bruises on his face were very conspicuous, his clothes were intact in appearance, there was no blood on the ground, and he had been dead for several hours.

Tang Tao stood at the door and carefully observed, and found that several fire extinguishers had fallen to the ground at the scene, and a fire shovel that was originally hanging on the shelf fell on the ground not far from Lu Peng, and there was a huge scratch on the wall, which was very deep, and a large piece of wall skin was peeled off.

Wang Zhihong, who was still proud just now, completely became a grandson at this time, and stood nervously next to Tang Tao.

"I promise, he really wasn't killed by us, we did beat him, but we never killed him, although this guy is very hateful, but I still know the severity, so I taught him a lesson, and he didn't kill anyone, his death has nothing to do with us."

"Isn't it irrelevant?" Tang Tao looked back at Wang Zhihong and asked.

The corners of Wang Zhihong's mouth twitched, and he said embarrassedly: "Yes, it's related, but we really didn't kill anyone." ”

"Aren't you a policeman? You don't know how he died? Tang Tao asked.

"Hey, hey, hey, I...... I'm kidding you, I did serve as a soldier before, and being a policeman is my nonsense, you seem to know better than me, what's going on? ”

Tang Tao glanced at it again, and the two scratches on the ground caught his attention, the scratches extended from the garage to the fire room, the distance between the scratches was even and neat, it should have been left by something with wheels.

By the way, it is a trolley box, Tang Tao squatted down and measured the spacing, it was fifty centimeters wide, this is a large trolley box with a considerable volume.

"Hey, this mark should be a trolley case, right? But we didn't see the box when we came. ”

Wang Zhihong also saw the clues.

"It's indeed a trolley box, judging from the traces, either it was brought in and pulled out, or it was pulled in and then brought out, I prefer the latter, this box is very heavy, and the murderer took the box away after killing Lu Peng."

As he spoke, Tang Tao took out his mobile phone and carefully filmed the entire room, and then pointed the camera at a cigarette butt on the ground and took two close-ups.

"Wait, you're saying Lu Peng was killed? Didn't die from a strain of injuries? So it doesn't matter to us? Wang Zhihong's eyes widened as if he had discovered a treasure.

This is what he is afraid of, if Lu Peng dies because of his injuries due to the beating they have suffered, then he, the manager, is afraid that he will spend the rest of his life in prison.

At this time, when he heard that Lu Peng was killed, he immediately showed a smug expression, so this matter has nothing to do with them, even if it is just illegal detention and beating, at most a few days.

"Did I say it had nothing to do with you? I think you're the murderer! ”

Tang Tao took the flashlight and shone it on Wang Zhihong's face, Wang Zhihong turned his head sideways to avoid the light, and shouted again and again.

"It's really not me, if he had been killed by me, I would have thrown his body away."

"I know it's not you."

"I just said it's not me, it's okay with me." Wang Zhihong couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

He was scared enough just now, he felt more and more that this man with glasses was not simple, from his every move was very professional, he suddenly realized a problem, and hurriedly asked: "Big brother, are you ...... You can't be a police officer, right? ”

"What? Ready to kill me? Tang Tao said with a serious expression.

Wang Zhihong waved his hand again and again to deny.

"No, no, no, I definitely didn't mean that, you're really a policeman?"

"It used to be."

Wang Zhihong was overjoyed, slapped Tang Tao hard, and said with a smile: "I knew you were not simple, hahaha, great, great, you have to help me testify." ”

Tang Tao glanced at his shoulder and then at Wang Zhihong, who hurriedly retracted his hand to apologize.

"I'm sorry, I'm so excited, I'll listen to you from now on, what are we going to do now?" Wang Zhihong is in a good mood, as long as Tang Tao can return his innocence, he can do whatever he wants.

"Call the police, send someone now."

Wang Zhihong hesitated but nodded and agreed, people are dead and can't hide it, and sooner or later the police will know about this matter.

"No problem, I'll arrange someone to go immediately, but I can't guarantee whether I can be notified."

"What do you mean?"

"The person who came back in the morning told me that the road had collapsed, and the only way was to arrange for a speedboat to go to sea."

"Then you hurry up and arrange it."

"But our speedboat has long since broken down."

Tang Tao was a little speechless, if he couldn't say it earlier, he would have to talk nonsense for a long time.

"You mean that no one can get out or get in?" Tang Tao asked.

"That's what it means."

"Is anyone leaving today?"

"Nope."

"Are there any other hotels on the island?"

"Yes, but now we are the only hotel on this island that is still in operation, and there is also a villa on Kowloon Mountain, I heard that the owner of the house is an antique dealer, and it is quite far down the mountain, I have not been there, and the specific situation is not clear." Wang Zhihong's heart tightened, and he hurriedly said, "Could it be that the people in the villa came to kill Lu Peng?" ”

Tang Tao shook his head and denied this statement.

People who can live in villas will never have a friend like Lu Peng, let alone take the risk of killing him.

Judging from the traces in the house, there was a fierce fight here, and Lu Peng's death was not an accident, but a murder, and the murderer took a box after killing Lu Peng.

If the killer hadn't left, the box would still be in the hotel.

"Have you packed up all your things?" Tang Tao asked again.

"I moved away from the dormitory a long time ago, and I came to check out the bill the day before yesterday, I thought he was gone, but I didn't expect him to stay in the hotel and sabotage it, do you suspect that the box is his? I can guarantee that he definitely doesn't have any suitcases, this guy is so lazy that he took a backpack a long time ago, could the box have been stolen by him? ”

Steal?

Tang Tao frowned, not to mention that this possibility is extremely high, Lu Peng did so many things just to make trouble, he was beaten and taught a lesson after he was caught last night, and if he continues to make trouble, he will only ask for his own hardship, in this case, stealing things and escaping is undoubtedly the best choice.

If the murderer kills people for the sake of the trolley box, then there must be some unsavory secret hidden in the trolley box, and now the police have not yet come and must deal with it carefully.

"I need tweezers, gloves, scissors, some bags now, continue to block the news, don't let anyone else know about it, investigate secretly to see who has a large trolley case, and be sure to keep an eye on the gate, I think the reason why the murderer didn't leave last night was because it was dark and raining, and now that the rain has stopped, there is no accident, and he is about to take action."

"Okay, no problem, I'll arrange it now."

Knowing that the murderer was most likely still hiding in the hotel, Wang Zhihong also became serious.

It didn't take long for Wang Zhihong to find all the things Tang Tao needed, Tang Tao put on gloves and foot covers and officially walked into the scene, his first target was the cigarette butt he had just found.

It was the butt of a fresh white sand cigarette with a flattened end by a trolley case and a clear tooth mark on the butt.

There are three different shoe prints in the fire room, a pair of Doudou shoes, and Lu Peng is wearing Doudou shoes, which should be his shoe prints. There is also a pair of shoe prints on leather shoes, Tang Tao compared Wang Zhihong's feet and was sure that this was his shoe print.

The last shoe print is the shoe print of a pair of board shoes, these shoes are very large, at least forty-five sizes, and the stride is very long, the whole room is full of this person's footprints, this is a tall murderer with a height of more than one meter seventy-five, and his left foot has an obvious outer figure, a figure suddenly appeared in Tang Tao's mind.
